RESOLVED//Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L and ALC888

[CheckExplicit]

EDIT: I tried the ALC1200 AppleAzaliaAudio driver for the Asus P5Q motherboards, and to my surprise, it actually worked. :3

 

It's probably been asked many times, but I couldn't find anything in Search.

 

I have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard + Q6600, ATI 4870 1GB, and 6GB DDR2 800MHz RAM

I currently have iATKOS v7 updated to 10.5.8 working perfectly with no troubles at all, except I don't have sound.

From what I've read, the L model in the UD3 series uses ALC888 and not ALC889 like commonly used in many other boards.

 

The VoodooHDA drivers on the iATKOS disk do not give me sound, neither do the other options.

I tried installing with no drivers, and tried to install the VoodooHDA 64bit drivers that dong released for Snow Leopard, hoping for some luck since there has been reports that it works for this motherboard. But I get no sound, and when I click on the VoodooHDA icon in the Preferences pane, I get "Preferences Error - Could not load VoodooHDA preference pane."

 

So I'm assuming these wont work in 10.5.8, so does anyone know where I can download and how to install the ALC888 drivers for 10.5.8?

I'm new to this, and I don't really know how to uninstall the VoodooHDA Kexts that I installed, I assume just delete it out of the /System/Library/Extensions folder, but I could be wrong.

Yes, I have very nice sound with GA-EP45-UD3L (alc888) no pop/crack sound either!

 

A quote from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=202041

 

Audio ALC888:

- dsdt.aml edit with iaslMe; added HDEF code; see link below for details

- LegacyHDA.kext from 4 out 2 in HDA series

- Finally no pop / crack sound while adjusting audio.

 

Have not tried to configure 5.1 surround; as I have not found a comprehensive guide.

I have almost the same setup as this! But I need help with my ga-ep45-ud3l with a sata drive, it wont find the sata drive when it boots.

 

Any suggestions?
